The City

There's a lot to love about a season here.

Albuquerque runs on about 310 days of sunshine a year, clear high-desert air, and some of the best green chile anywhere. Whether you're here to work, to heal, to film, or to land between homes, it's an easy place to settle in.

Eat well

Start with our favorites, Artichoke Cafe and Farina in EDo, then work through the green-chile spots and the Downtown brewery trail.

Get outside

Hike the Sandia foothills, ride the Sandia Peak Tramway, or explore the Petroglyphs — all within easy reach.

Explore

Historic Old Town, the shops and cafes of Nob Hill, Route 66 landmarks, and the KiMo Theatre downtown.

Time it right

Come in October for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the world's largest hot-air balloon event.

Good To Know

Questions, answered.

How long can I stay?

Stays start at a 30-night minimum, and you're welcome to stay as long as you like — the monthly rate stays the same throughout.

What's included in the rent?

Everything: a fully furnished home, all utilities, 500 Mbps Wi-Fi, fresh linens and towels, and a fully equipped kitchen. Because stays are 30+ nights, there's no lodging tax.

Is there a deposit or a lease?

Yes — a $1,500 refundable security deposit and a simple, straightforward lease for direct stays. Nothing complicated.

Where do I park?

Free on-street parking right in front of the main house.

How private is it?

Very. The casita is its own stand-alone building set behind the main house, with a private entrance and patio — no shared space.

How many people can stay?

It sleeps two on the California-king bed, plus a third on the full sofa bed. As an open-plan studio, the sleeping and living areas share one open room — a great fit for a couple or a small family.

Do I need a car?

Not really. You can walk to EDo dining and Downtown, grab a Lime scooter around the neighborhood, and rideshare pickup is quick. The Sunport airport is about 10 minutes away.

Is it a good place to work remotely?

Ideal — a quiet, private space with 500 Mbps Wi-Fi and a height-adjustable standing desk.

Is cleaning included?

The casita is professionally cleaned before you arrive, and mid-stay cleaning is available anytime for a small fee.

Are there any house rules?

Just enough to keep it a calm, quiet home: no parties, no smoking or vaping indoors, and no pets.
